Require Very Special Attention Owners of low -mileage cars — those driven on the average of 7,000 miles or less annually — may believe their cars stay in "mint" condition because of the low mileage. In fact, unless the owner takes extra care of these vehicles, their "prized" possessions may be turning into prize head- aches. . The low -mileage car own- er may believe he should get recommended service at normally suggested mileage intervals. But, maintenance schedules are planned for automobiles driven the av- erage of 10,000 or 12,000 miles per year. The engine, especially, suffers as a result of short - distance driving — often, because it does not have time to warm up properly. Vital 'lubrication of the en- gine's moving parts is re- stricted. It is. this proper lubrica- tion that minimizes wear within the engine. With normal usage, dust and the wear particles are carried -to the drip pan by the oil But an engine must be allowed to run after it has warmed up — in order for the I warm) oil to flow free- ly, and carry away all ' or most of the damaging par- ticles. When moving parts' are thus lubricated, they're cushioned by the oil from vibration and shock — caused by the firing of com- bustion charges when start- ing the engine or accelerat- ing. A fast -deteriorating ex- haust, system is another common problem with old- er low -mileage cars. Con- densation settles in the pipes causing rust from the inside. The poor fuel con- sumption of the little -used engine further contributes to a faulty exhaust system — due to excessive residue, which clogs the muffler and increases emulsions. If you're a short -distance driver who wants to get more good years out of your car, get a tune-up, oil change, filters change, in- spections of vital parts and systems at about twice the frequency suggested for cars driven 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year. • •i.%.

Last week after work, 1 found my car stuck in a snow bank in the parking lot. Instead of helping me get out, the "men" just laughed, said something about "Women's Lib" and blithely drove away. My car wasn't stuck so deep that a little shove from n couple of the guys couldn't have helped. As it turned out 1 had to call a wrecker and was an hour . late getting home. What's with men these days? GERRY Y. West Allis, Wisc. Dear Gerry You 'might ask,what's with people today? Your co-workers' inconsiderate behavior is not merely just a man -woman thing. It's a human matter. People don't want to get involved. They should have helped if you were a woman, a fellow man or a creature from outer space. You may not be able to change human nature but you could per- haps have helped yourself. Remember this if you get stuck again. If the car isn't too deeply embedded in snow, you can rock your- self out of a drift. First, make sure your exhaust pipe isn't embedded in the snow. If it is, clear the snow away or you risk actual car- bon monoxide poisoning. Then, with a gentle foot on the gas pedal, shift from re- verse to' drive in a steady rocking motion. It might helpoll your car trunk con- tains a shovel to remove snow and an old rug to help give you traction. * * • Dear DeDe: 1 own a small machine shop and I'm getting the reputation of being some kind of Scrooge, It seems every time the temperature drops below 10 degrees above zero, about a quarter of my employees are late to work.
